Impact of Federation of Agricultural Commodity Associations of Nigeria on the Economic Empowerment of its Members

Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: 5.0, University of Pretoria, language: English, abstract: The global beverage landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as consumers increasingly opt for healthier drink alternatives, posing challenges for industry giants like Coca-Cola. This study delves into the complexities faced by Coca-Cola in navigating this shifting paradigm, marked by heightened health consciousness among consumers and stringent regulatory measures aimed at curbing sugary drink consumption. Utilizing a strategic analysis framework, the research evaluates Coca-Cola's organizational background, internal resources, external environment, and strategic imperatives. Key findings underscore the imperative for Coca-Cola to align with evolving consumer preferences and sustainability mandates, necessitating strategic diversification, brand power utilization, global localization, and robust sustainability initiatives. The study advocates for a holistic approach that harmonizes Coca-Cola's brand legacy with contemporary health and environmental imperatives, ensuring its continued market relevance and leadership amidst dynamic industry shifts.

"From prehistoric times to the modern era, William Taylor weaves together science and history to present the great epic of the horse and its impact on the world and civilization." --Jack Weatherford, New York Times bestselling author of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World "Delivered in beautiful and accessible prose that gallops, prances, and saunters with equine majesty, this genre-bending book is a compelling global history of the world people and horses made together. A captivating story that horse lovers, scholars, teachers, students, and the general public will find irresistible."--Akinwumi Ogundiran, author of The Yoruba: A New History "Working on three continents with geneticists, historians, anthropologists, and Indigenous people, William T. Taylor has been pursuing for more than a decade the story of how people and horses came together. This is a crisp, thoughtful survey of one of the most exciting new areas in the study of the human past, unraveling the secrets of one of our species' oldest, deepest, and most essential relationships."--Charles C. Mann, author of 1491 and The Wizard and the Prophet "A tremendous feat. Taylor integrates a vast quantity of different kinds of data to illustrate how the relationship between humans and horses, past and present, has shaped the world we live in today--and tells a terrific story along the way."--Emily Lena Jones, coauthor of Questioning Rebound: People and Environmental Change in the Protohistoric and Early Historic Americas "The most comprehensive narrative to date about the relationship between humans and horses, a panoramic analysis of how the noble equid has led us to where we are today. No other book so succinctly describes the animal's role in the development of the global community."--Will Grant, author of The Last Ride of the Pony Express "For millennia, historians have recounted the story of the horse in bits and pieces, much of it infused with myth and romance. William Taylor thoughtfully revisits the epic story of humankind's most important partner, weaving a sweeping new tale that replaces outdated thinking with the latest scientific revelations and adds a significant contribution to the literature."--Peter Gwin, Senior Editor, National Geographic

"Hoof Beats helps readers see the drama even in the grass eating. . . . Taylor has written&nbsp;that too-rare work that is as authoritative as it is legible to the lay audience."—New York Times Journey to the ancient past with cutting-edge science and new data to discover how horses forever altered the course of human history. &nbsp; &nbsp; From the Rockies to the Himalayas, the bond between horses and humans&nbsp;has spanned across time and civilizations. In this archaeological journey, William T. Taylor explores how momentous events in the story of humans and horses helped create the world we live in today. Tracing the horse's origins and spread from the western Eurasian steppes to the invention of horse-drawn transportation and the explosive shift to mounted riding, Taylor offers a revolutionary new account of how horses altered the course of human history.&nbsp; &nbsp; Drawing on Indigenous perspectives, ancient DNA, and new research from Mongolia to the Great Plains and beyond, Taylor guides readers through the major discoveries that have placed the horse at the origins of globalization, trade, biological exchange, and social inequality. Hoof Beats transforms our understanding of both horses and humanity's ancient past and asks us to consider what our relationship with horses means for the future of humanity and the world around us.

How Horses Shaped Human History

A radical revision—and worker’s-eye view—of everything we thought we knew about the ancient Roman economy The story of ancient Rome is predominantly one of great men with great fortunes. Surviving Rome unearths another history, one of ordinary Romans, who worked with their hands and survived through a combination of grit and grinding labor. Focusing on the working majority, Kim Bowes tells the stories of people like the tenant farmer Epimachus, Faustilla the moneylender, and the pimp Philokles. She reveals how the economic changes of the period created a set of bitter challenges and opportunistic hustles for everyone from farmers and craftspeople to day laborers and slaves. She finds working people producing a consumer revolution, making and buying all manner of goods from fine pottery to children’s toys. Many of the poorest working people probably pieced together a living from multiple sources of income, including wages. And she suggests that Romans’ most daunting challenge was the struggle to save. Like many modern people, saving enough to buy land or start a business was a slow, precarious slog. Bowes shows how these economies of survival were shared by a wide swath of the populace, blurring the lines between genders, ages, and legal status. Drawing on new archaeological and textual evidence, Surviving Rome presents a radical new perspective on the economy of ancient Rome while speaking to the challenges of today’s laborers and gig workers surviving in an unforgiving global world.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2024 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensforschung, Operations Research, Note: 2,0, AKAD University, ehem. AKAD Fachhochschule Stuttgart, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die digitale Transformation prägt das heutige Zeitalter wie keine andere Kraft. Die rapide Entwicklung digitaler Technologien und ihre Integration in sämtliche Bereiche der Gesellschaft verändern grundlegend die Art und Weise, wie wir arbeiten, kommunizieren und leben. Insbesondere für Unternehmen, sowohl in der privaten als auch in der öffentlichen Sphäre, bedeutet dies eine tiefgreifende Umwälzung ihrer Prozesse und Strukturen.Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich einem spezifischen Aspekt dieser digitalen Transformation, nämlich ihrer Auswirkungen auf öffentliche Betriebe. Dieser Fokus ist von besonderer Relevanz, da öffentliche Institutionen und Unternehmen oft als Träger essenzieller Dienstleistungen fungieren, die unmittelbar das Leben und Wohlergehen der Bürger beeinflussen. Die Frage, wie öffentliche Betriebe die Chancen der digitalen Transformation nutzen können, um ihre Dienstleistungen effizienter und bürgernäher zu gestalten, steht im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit.Die Notwendigkeit für eine verstärkte digitale Transformation in öffentlichen Betrieben wurde nicht zuletzt durch die Herausforderungen der Corona-Pandemie deutlich. Die Krise zwang die Verwaltungen dazu, sich rasch an die neuen Anforderungen anzupassen und Prozesse mit digitalen Technologien zu unterstützen. Dabei wurden nicht nur bestehende Defizite offengelegt, sondern auch das enorme Potenzial digitaler Lösungen aufgezeigt.In dieser Arbeit werden zunächst die Grundlagen und Definitionen der digitalen Transformation sowie öffentlicher Betriebe erläutert, um ein gemeinsames Verständnis für die folgenden Analysen zu schaffen. Im Anschluss daran werden die spezifischen Herausforderungen und Chancen der digitalen Transformation in öffentlichen Betrieben herausgearbeitet. Hierbei liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk auf der Identifizierung von Barrieren und Potenzialen, die die erfolgreiche Umsetzung dieser Transformation beeinflussen.Ein zentraler Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit liegt auf der Entwicklung konkreter Handlungsempfehlungen für öffentliche Betriebe, um die digitale Transformation erfolgreich zu gestalten. Dabei werden praxisorientierte Strategien vorgestellt, die es den öffentlichen Institutionen ermöglichen, die Herausforderungen zu bewältigen und die Chancen der digitalen Transformation bestmöglich zu nutzen.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensforschung, Operations Research, Note: 1,3, IU Internationale Hochschule, Veranstaltung: Thesis Finanzmanagement B.A., Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Bachelor-Arbeit untersucht die qualitative Entwicklung von Nachhaltigkeitsberichten von DAX- und MDAX-Unternehmen der chemischen Industrie und verschiedene auf die Berichtsqualität einwirkende Faktoren, wie beispielsweise die Einführung einer gesetzlichen Berichtspflicht oder die Anwendung von freiwilligen Rahmenwerken. Unternehmen veröffentlichen nicht-finanzielle Berichte, um verschiedene Interessengruppen über ihre ökonomische, ökologische und soziale Leistung zu informieren. Anzahl und Umfang der veröffentlichten Nachhaltigkeitsberichte haben in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten kontinuierlich zugenommen. Die Qualität von Nachhaltigkeitsberichten wird in der Literatur umfassend diskutiert, da sie sich auf die Nützlichkeit der Daten, auf die Glaubwürdigkeit der Rechenschaft und damit auf das Vertrauen von Interessengruppen gegenüber Unternehmen auswirkt.Der deutsche Bundestagswahlkampf 2021 war stark von Umwelt- und Klimaschutz geprägt, zentral im Wahlprogramm aller großen Parteien. Die Bedeutung des Umweltschutzes ist in der Gesellschaft evident, als "Schicksalswahl fürs Klima" betitelt. Die Wissenschaft bestätigt, dass aktueller Konsum und Güterproduktion umfassend negativ auf die Umwelt wirken, z.B. Biodiversitätsverlust und Klimawandel durch Treibhausgasemissionen. Umweltschutz ist Teil des ganzheitlichen Nachhaltigkeitskonzepts, welches als nachhaltig gilt, wenn es die Bedürfnisse der Gegenwart erfüllt, ohne künftige Generationen zu beeinträchtigen. Nachhaltigkeit umfasst Ökonomie, Ökologie und Soziales gleichberechtigt: dauerhaft tragbare Wirtschaft, schonender Umgang mit Ressourcen und Natur, sowie Verteilungsgerechtigkeit und faires Miteinander.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf (Betriebswirtschaft), language: English, abstract: The trend of sustainability, fairness and quest for meaning can also be seen in tourism. People are looking for social engagement and a deeper meaning for their holidays. The tourism industry has long since reacted to this desire. As a niche market, voluntourism constitutes an alternative to mass tourism and has recorded a high quantitative and qualitative dynamism since the beginning of the 21st century. An increasing number of tourism providers see a viable economic potential in voluntourism. As a hybrid form of international voluntary service and tourism, it is designed as a bookable touristic offer and marketed within a competitive sector – although it is intended to serve a charitable purpose. The programmes, which were originally small-scale, are marketed commercially by professional tourism operators. Thus, being adapted to market principles and controversial basic elements, such as the adventure of the holidays on the one hand and the meaningful work on the other. Consequently, this trend reflects touristification and commercialisation.
This thesis will explore voluntourism from a different angle by studying the various providers in the German market and their business concepts regarding their product ranges, marketing, and realisation.

This is the first comprehensive guide to the rules of organised political activity in Britain and the standards of conduct expected of those involved in it.

Organised politics involves not only political parties (their members, leaders, officials, and elected representatives in local and national governments) but also trade unions, charities, lobbyists and others. This book codifies the statutory and case law regulating their activity, including much not addressed elsewhere.

It provides detailed and practical guidance on establishing and operating political parties, the rights of party members and powers of committees, electing party leaders, selecting candidates, party discipline, controlling political factions, holding meetings, political campaigning by charities and trade unions, lobbying, Parliamentary conduct and standards, and other matters. 

This accessible guide is designed for those needing to ensure that political office-holders act lawfully, for those who want to hold them to account, for lawyers, politicians (eg MPs, peers, local councillors, mayors, and electoral candidates) ordinary party members and others involved in political activity, and for students and everyone interested in how politics works.

Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences - Hachenburg Castle, course: Finanzsaufsicht, language: English, abstract: The current rise in interest rates leads to significant losses in the value of banks’ own portfolios, especially for small and medium-sized banks. This paper considers how the application of the moderate lower of market principle may, in some circumstances, serve to reduce the negative impact of such an increase in interest rates. Accordingly, the valuation rules of the German Commercial Code in conjunction with the IDW statement on loss-free valuation in the banking book offer considerable scope of discretion for German institutions. 

The paper first outlines the principles for the classification and valuation of securities in commercial accounting. In this context, the valuation rule of the mitigated lower of market principle is explained and its influence on the formation of a provision for contingent losses in the scenario of a temporary impairment is shown. Furthermore, the IDW's statement on the loss-free valuation of the banking book is presented, according to which the prerequisites and requirements for reclassifications are explained. The aim of the paper is to highlight and categorically present the resulting consequences for banks. These include tax, regulatory and accounting advantages for banks by making full use of the legal framework.

A timely new critique of capitalism’s persistent failure to value nature Capitalism is typically treated as a force for relentless commodification. Yet it consistently fails to place value on vital aspects of the nonhuman world, whether carbon emissions or entire ecosystems. In Free Gifts, Alyssa Battistoni explores capitalism’s persistent failure to value nature, arguing that the key question is not the moral issue of why some kinds of nature shouldn’t be commodified, but the economic puzzle of why they haven’t been. To understand contemporary ecological problems from biodiversity collapse to climate change, she contends, we have to understand how some things come to have value under capitalism—and how others do not. To help us do so, Battistoni recovers and reinterprets the idea of the free gift of nature used by classical economic thinkers to describe what we gratuitously obtain from the natural world, and builds on Karl Marx’s critique of political economy to show how capitalism fundamentally treats nature as free for the taking. This novel theory of capitalism’s relationship to nature not only helps us understand contemporary ecological breakdown, but also casts capitalism’s own core dynamics in a new light. Battistoni addresses four different instances of the free gift in political economic thought, each in a specific domain: natural agents in industry, pollution in the environment, reproductive labor in the household, and natural capital in the biosphere. In so doing, she offers new readings of major twentieth-century thinkers, including Friedrich Hayek, Simone de Beauvoir, Garrett Hardin, Silvia Federici, and Ronald Coase. Ultimately, she offers a novel account of freedom for our ecologically troubled present, developing a materialist existentialism to argue that capitalism limits our ability to be responsible for our relationships to the natural world, and imagining how we might live freely while valuing nature’s gifts.

Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Economy - Environment economics, grade: 2,7, University of Hannover (Entwicklungs- und Agrarökonomik), language: English, abstract: This masterthesis considers and analyses the economic and environmental consequences of vegetarian diets in Germany.The world is slowly but surely reaching the collective realization that an ecological catastrophe is inevitably which also leads to an economic and thus a social catastrophe. Sustainability, environmental protection and climate change are no longer niche topics. Environmental awareness is changing from individual lifestyle to social movement. Sustainability from consumer trend to economic factor. Environment is becoming a mainstream topic, a new criterion for good and bad, right and wrong. It is becoming the lowest common denominator for an entire generation. Everyone is affected, everyone must take a stand . In addition to these, the aspect of health is as well one of the most important Megatrends of our society today. The personal responsibility and health competence of the individual has increased - at the same time is health once again becoming more the responsibility of economy and politics. Because healthy or unhealthy environmental influences, food, or expenditures for medical facilities and education campaigns are not only subject to individual. In order to harmonize environment, society, economy and health, people have to change their way of consumption and the economy their way of production. A good foundation for this is provided by Nutrition Ecology, an interdisciplinary scientific discipline that attempts to balance all four dimensions.The first part of the work presents the vegetarian diet, its history and the different forms and motivations. In addition current numbers and characteristics of vegetarians living in Germany are presented in the last part of Chapter 2. In Chapter 3 a comprehensive description of the current meat consumption and production in Germany and knowledge about the meat replacement market is presented. The environmental impact of the meat industry is discussed in detail in Chapter 4. And finally, in Chapter 5 a model is presented, Nutrition Ecology. Using the four dimensions, the impacts on economy and environment of a transformation towards vegetarian diets are shown.
